Uz's Charity Master List

As promised, a comprehensive list of places to donate to if you wanna help the people involved in the Israeli Palestinian conflict!

This is how it is gonna work. For the sake of safety, the main list include ONLY registered organization, i.e. ones that are registered in a governmental list. Due to the mass amount of organizations I decided to split it into categories: Solidarity & General, Israel, Gaza, West Bank, Bedouin, Miscellaneous.

Next to those lists, I added two more lists- Projects and Shit List. Projects will include project and fund raising that are not through an official organizations, so the risk factor is higher, and I will do my best to verify them before publishing. The Shit list for organizations you should avoid for various reasons.

For the sake of future edits, the reblog on the lists themselves will be turned off so I could edit and update the lists without having to deal with several versions going around. This post will serve as the Table of Contents and will be rebloggable.

Solidarity & General part 1 Solidarity & General part 2 Israel Gaza West Bank Bedouin Miscellaneous Projects Shit List

If someone is interested in submitting a charity to be added, you can send me an ask with the following details:

organization's name official government registration short history at least one source to prove it's legitimate official site if you would like to be credited in the post.

for projects and fund raising.

name details at least three sources to prove it's legitimate url if you would like to be credited in the post.

for Shit List

name details at least two sources to prove your claims if you would like to be credited in the post.

Hey if you’re schizophrenic/psychotic I just want you to know that you’re a wonderful person and that you deserve so much better than the demonization, marginalization and stigmatization you face in this society.

[sweetschizo-deactivated20190808]

Please consider reblogging this/other positivity posts for schizophrenic/psychotic people every once in a while. If you have more than 100 followers, odds are that a couple of them experiences psychosis and that they rarely see positivity posts for people with their symptoms.

Nothing enrages me more than 18-27 year old "revolutionaries" who believe that are the counter culture, immune to propaganda who somehow all bought their mamdani jerseys and have been treating him like some kind of idol for the last year.

Like, mandani filming himself walking to work and shaking people's hands is a form of propaganda... and youd know this if you replaced him with any other politician.

The fandomisation of mamdani is fucken weird.

20 YEARS OF H20: JUST ADD WATER 1x1 Metamorphosis - Premiered July 7th, 2006

[maimonideznuts]

My husband is watching videos on radioactive things that people bought online that killed people, and a dishonourable mention is a vibrator that was packed with Thorium.

So, just a PSA that if you bought a wellness product that "produces negative ions" there's a decent chance that it has a medically harmful radioactive element in it (salt lamps and little water features are probably exempt from this warning). If this is you, especially if you're wearing it (stop that), your next steps should maybe be to purchase a Geiger Counter, and book a dr's appointment. You don't want to be wearing thorium and caesium necklaces and bracelets... Don't assume the seller will tell you or even know that is what they're selling.

Not to say we're doing the 20's all over again, but I didn't expect the thinking behind Radium Toothpaste to make a comeback.

The Left-Wing Case Against Anti-Zionism

Discrimination against Israelis qua Israelis—and the “Zionists” who appear as their proxies—is a moral wrong.

[h4ganah]

"retained"

"should not be allowed to leave"

holy shit can you try to sound any more ominous

"progressivism" = when your tokenised people of choice can have a little slavery, as a treat

[the-library-alcove]

Remember, to these Progressives, slavery is just a part of Arab culture, like in Qatar and Yemen under the Houthis, and it's WESTERN IMPERIALISM to insist on such things as universal human rights and slavery abolition.

[jewishgay4il]

wait, now they want our knowledge?? what happened 20 years ago when they destroyed everything we had built and used our knowledge for

[the-library-alcove]

Clearly they need a fresh infusion of Things That Jews Have Built, as all Hamas' members know how to do is kill and destroy.

[short-wooloo]

I sense a long term issue with this plan

[cecilyshaunts]

So this might just be the most bizarre thing I’ve read from Pro-Palestine accounts. Not only is it antisemitic (which is to be expected), it’s also WILDLY biphobic.

Martha and Jonathan find a baby in an ark. There is no note with him, but they see how tenderly he was swaddled, how desperately sent here, and they look at each other and they know. She was on the Kindertransport. He lost his parents to the camps. Martha's eyes say "He is like us." Her voice says, "Moses in the bullrushes."

They take him home. They give him the Hebrew name Kal-El and the American name Clark so he will fit in. They know what it is to be different. There is no Hebrew school in Smallville so they teach him at home, and study Torah together. When he shows special abilities, they wonder to each other if he is the Moshiach. Not for the strength of his body, but for the strength of his kindness. He always seems to be helping others, delivering them from harm, as he was delivered to them. They never tell him this, but they teach him about the obligations without measure. He's a natural.

At school, he is side-eyed for being different. When he displays eccentricities, the villagers shrug and say "maybe it's a Jewish thing." The Kents make sure he values his education, and is always home for Shabbas dinner.

His is bar-mitzva'd at the nearest shul, a few towns over. They didn't know his birthday, so they chose one near Parshat Shemot. Now they worry that was too on-the-nose, but he gives a moving d'var about the obligation to speak truth to power.

As he comes into his own and tries to be a hero, he hides his identity from the public, not out of shame, but to keep his adopted parents safe. They've been persecuted enough.

When he moves to the big city for a job at a newspaper, Pa is so proud he cries. Clark uses his journalistic skills to expose corruption, give voice to the neglected and oppressed, and research his own origins. When he learns the truth about Krypton and his birth parents' desperate bid to send him to safety, Ma and Pa are not at all surprised that they were right.

When Clark brings Lois home, he assures his parents she is a nice Jewish girl, but they're just glad she's a mensch. They step on a glass to remember the destruction of Krypton, and stand under a chuppah quilted by Ma.

A white billionaire spews lies about him, trying to spread fear of the stranger in their midst. He comes out in public and says "There's nothing more American than being an immigrant."

When the government turns against immigrants, he stands on the side of the protestors and protects. Tear gass does nothing to him. He makes himself a shield. He writes article after article in the Daily Planet, making sure the public knows what their government is doing, that immigrants know their rights, that the powerful are put on notice. When they start rounding people up, he says "Never again."

He shows up at immigrant detention centers, armed with miracles. And says "Let my people go."

#i'm not crying you are#this hit me right in the feels#weren't many of the og superman creators jewish?

They were! Superman was created in 1938 by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, two Jewish boys, sons of immigrants.

also thank you!

Fifty years ago today, Air France Captain Michel Bacos showed the world what true moral courage looks like.

When Flight 139 was hijacked by Palestinian and German terrorists and flown to Entebbe, the non-Jewish passengers were eventually released. Bacos and his crew were also offered their freedom. 

However, Bacos, who also served in the French army under DeGaulle, refused to leave his Jewish passengers. All his crew also refused, without exception.

Instead, they chose to remain alongside the 94 Jewish hostages, fully aware of the danger they faced. As Bacos later said, abandoning his passengers was simply "unimaginable."

Days later, they were freed in the legendary Israeli rescue mission, Operation Entebbe, led by Yoni Netanyahu, who would die in the battle.

For his extraordinary courage, Bacos was honoured by both France and Israel. Yet his greatest legacy was not the medals he received, but the example he set: that decency, duty and humanity must never yield to terror or antisemitism.

Michel Bacos was a true hero. May his life, his courage and his memory forever be a blessing and an inspiration.

explain to me exactly how people that have known me for months, heard me go on anti-establishment rants, praise concepts of horizontal management and deconstruction of cultural zeitgeists are surprised to find out i'm an anarchist?

This is probably so good for her body, too! Imagine her muscles getting moved in ways they don’t normally and she is upright and hopefully not having any pressure spots! This is lovely in so many ways!

This is a wonderful invention, but the man in the picture is one of the testers. He is not the inventor. The inventor was an Israeli woman named Debby Elnatan who developed this with an Irish company for her son.

Keep that last comment in mind, people! We can’t keep erasing women’s accomplishments like this.

[goingrampant]

Apparently, a Redditor cropped the original image that displayed two women prominently to only focus on this guy on the side and rewrote the story to make it seem like a man’s generous innovation. This is not some kind of wacky telephone game error; this is deliberate misogyny.

[chutzpahchesed]

I didn’t want to say this in the tags on the original post, but regarding how bad the antisemitism has gotten, op (very rightly) asks, “I don’t understand what echo chamber they are so deeply entrenched in that they believe they can decide someone’s entire moral frame just from their ethnicity.”

something I think we unfortunately need to understand here is that it’s not an echo chamber anymore. if it were an echo chamber, you would not encounter it in every fandom, every comment section, any given subreddit on any conceivable topic, directed at anyone visibly Jewish (from famous people to random Jews on the street), and so on. this is no longer an echo chamber problem, it’s a systemic societal mainstream problem. there was a clip I saw shared from The View today where some of the women had to call one of the others out because they felt she was blaming Jews as a whole for the war with Iran (this woman has been antisemitic on air many times before), and the default response was to defend her. I was reading something else today and someone said they enjoyed getting a push notification from the New York Times that was about gossip and not about “genocidal Zionists,” and this was said by probably some totally normie American woman. a Jewish man running for Congress was banned from a coffee shop in Brooklyn and people are wholly on the side of the coffee shop and delighted he lost. these examples are recent, of course, there are much worse ones to cite (ie: championing murderers when the victims are Jews).

seeing this as a somehow limited issue is sadly not going to work to combat it. the reason everyone in the Jewish community is experiencing it to one degree or another is because it’s pervasive. it’s been wholly absorbed into the current thoughts and politics and academia and media and ideologies of this moment. they believe this is the correct moral framework.

In New Zealand, a new political party is trying to form for the election later this year. This parties whole schtick is that jews did not originate in the Levant and Israel should be disestablished.

We are currently going through a cost of living crisis, the worst unemployment rate in recent history, gas is even more through the roof than in other countries since we are so far away from other countries. Oh and the UN has published a warning that the government is violating indigenous rights.

Yet disestablishing a country on the other side of the world is this party's main focus. And when you ask yourself why, its because they're likely gearing up to blame all of those issues on Israel, then zionism as a whole, and then jews. And this isn't the slippery slope logical fallacy as some of the people who have joined this new party, have done exactly that. There is one "activist" group local to my city who claimed that the jewish council in Australia was a "zionist lobby group" and were lobbying the Australian government after the terrorist attack in Bondi. However what the truth was, is that after bondi, the Australian government had reached out to the jewish council as part of the inquiry into the attack. That is not lobbying. The NZ government did the same after the terrorist attack on two mosques in Christchurch.

People need to understand how the Nazis got into power. They didnt start of by going "vote for us and we will kill all jews". They started by identifying real issues, and campaigning on fixing them. Then they added fake issues, things that were blown out of proportion. Only then, after they had rounded up all the issues in the country, did they then label it as being caused by the jews. And they could offer a solution. Restricting jewish businesses and jewish life. And when that didn't work, they said it wasn't because jews obviously were not the cause, its because jews still held power and influence. So we were forced in ghettos. And when shit was still bad? Time to murder all the jews.

Keep crying about your poor hostages and your 40 beheaded babies

I fear you are a bit not updated- all hostages alive or dead that were kept in Gaza has been freed.

regarding the babies, I am in a place of the mourning journey where I do not feel the urge to cry regularly.

and in regards to you my dear child, I hope that one day you will be far enough in the journey of unlearning hate and bigotry to remember that one of the core tenements of the the anti-bigotry mentality is remembering the humanity and mourning any soul lost due to useless and unnecessary conflict, regardless of what is that person's perceived morality.

[dumbdogdiscourse]

How are you going to say that trans men expressing grief because of people/women being scared of him post-transition is not an example of him being oppressed because of his manhood. I thought we established that people being scared of you because of your masculinity is like, the main way masculinity is punished. Also that's super transphobic and victim-blamey to say: "thats what you get for becoming a man." Hello??
